With the increase in global trade, countries can be compared to the performance they will demonstrate in the logistics. The increase in logistics performance only occurs by introducing innovations on supply chain management, transport system and methods. Combined transportation can be used effectively, high-capacity storage areas, workforce optimization and operational and personnel costs minimize, high-level logistics villages show a certain specialization in this context more and more clearly every day. The existing geostrategic position in order for our country to be able to take more share of global trade, it is necessary to come to the position of the central country, rather than to be a transition country in terms of logistics, and to be well assessed. This can only be done through logistics bases/centres. The cargo transported to the ports due to the possibilities of access to the Black Sea, the Black Sea, which is the coast of the Black Sea region located in one of our country's important transit points, can be transported to all countries of the world through maritime trade. This makes it possible to provide services in economic and social terms not only to neighboring countries, but to a wider area located in their territory. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of logistics studies in global trade and to evaluate the potential of the Black Sea Region to be a logistics base, which constitutes an important transition point in our country’s geostrategic position through the SWOT analysis method. Thus, the strengths and weaknesses of the logistics base potential of the region and the opportunities and threats will be identified and recommendations will be developed on the scale of the strategy development and on the steps to be taken.
